Hi everyone,
We are still playing catch up getting our posts up about some of the jobs we've been doing lately so here is our next installment.

For this update we thought we would post about an Ultimate9 nudge bar kit with built in light bar that we fitted to a 2024 Ford Ranger Wildtrak.
These kits follow the factory curves of the front bar for a sleek fit, require no cutting or modifications and are designed and built tough right here in Australia. They also feature a sturdy flat top so you can mount a UHF or Celfi antenna to them as well.

These bars are available for a variety of vehicles including:
BYD Shark, Nissan Patrol, VW Amarok, Ford F150, Toyota Landcruiser 200 series, 300 series & Prado, Isuzu DMax & MUX & Mazda BT50.

Check out their range here: https://www.ultimate9.co/au/nudge-bars

We had this BYD Shark in recently for an audio upgrade of the factory Dynaudio setup which sounds ok but wasn't up to the task for the owner who wanted a next level listening experience.

Enter the Focal Utopia 165WXP speakers! Talk about next level.
So why these speakers for this project? Well they share the same W sandwich cone & Beryllium tweeter materials that can be found in Focals Grande Utopia EVO home speakers (about $550,000!) so you get the benefit of those materials & the R&D behind it but for your ride rather than your lounge room.

Since the factory system runs warning sounds & chimes like reverse sensors, etc through the OEM amp this is something that we needed to factor in when it came to integrating an aftermarket option.
We also needed to make sure we were going to be getting the most out of the Utopia speakers so we opted for an Audison AFM5.11BIT digital processor / amplifier.
This DSP/Amp is running the front 2 way Utopias active (an independent amplified output for each tweeter and each woofer) as well as a compact Audison APS10D 10" sub in a custom enclosure we built and mounted behind the rear seat.
For the rear speakers, well they will be running through a separate additional 4 channel amplifier at a later date for the next stage of this build.

So after going to town with Morel sound deadening we got to work on the install and then of course some custom tuning of the DSP.
As per some of our previous posts about DSP tuning this allowed us to fine tune each tweeter, woofer & the sub independently as well as an overall tune for the entire system.

We've added a few pics of the factory sub Vs the Audison in the custom enclosure and also some pics of the factory EQ curves we had to correct to get a clean frequency response before we started the overall tuning process.

Bit of a job but the end result is a sound stage that gives you goose bumps and powerful low end punch to compliment it.

Another sound system install for a customer chasing a bit more bottom end punch in their GTS.

So for this job we went for a full sound system upgrade consisting of the following:
- Aerpro head unit with dual zone HVAC kit
- Hertz Dieci series front splits & rear coaxials
- Dual Hertz Dieci series 10" subwoofers in boxes
- Morel compact MPD series 5 channel amp
- Morel MPSR1 sub controller

Although the Morel 5 channel amplifier is compact in size (just 48mm x 148mm x 294.5mm) it is an animal for output power running the front & rear speakers as well as the two 10" subs all from the one amp, this keeps cabling and installation costs down compared to fitting a separate 4 channel speaker amp and mono sub amp.
We were super excited when this series first came to market and of course being from Morel they didn't disappoint. They have now become one of our first go to amps to build a complete system around.

Another quick update for our catch up series as we've been a bit quiet on our socials of late.

We had a customer in recently looking for a driving light upgrade for his 79 Series Landcruiser but he wasn't looking for just any set of driving lights, he wanted something a bit more serious. This being the case we went straight to our higher end gear in the form of the Ultravision Vulkan 5700k series.

These are a serious bit of kit that offer an adjustable beam pattern with the simple turn of a dial right from the drivers seat, so whether you’re driving twisting tracks that demand massive peripheral width (up to 235m) or heading down open-outback straights needing over 1.7km of raw distance, the Vulkans let you dial it in.
- Engineered and manufactured in Australia for real-world touring
- 5 Year warranty.
- No more choosing between a spot or a flood, just turn the dial and adapt to the terrain ahead.

Hi everyone,
Sorry we've been a bit quiet on the socials lately, we've been a bit busy so have some catching up to do with you all about what we've been up to so watch this space.
In the meantime we thought we would start with a system we did recently in a Ford Ranger Platinum.
These Rangers come with a Bang & Olufsen (B&O) system from factory which uses an OEM amplifier running the speakers and factory sub in a sort of semi-active setup, not bad but this customer is no stranger to some of the higher end car audio brands out there as we have done a few systems for them in the past running Focal and Audison gear so the factory system needed a bit of an upgrade.
So for this system the customer already had a set of Focals brilliant K2 Power series front speakers so we added some rears along with a Helix compact 10” subwoofer in a custom enclosure and to run the whole show the ridiculously powerful Helix V Eight DSP amplifier.
For the cleanest of clean signals we used a PAC Audio adapter to gives us a fiber optic input straight into the DSP which allowed us to completely remove the factory amp.
So what does the Helix V Eight allow us to do?
This incredible piece of kit allows us to tune the day lights out of each individual speaker & around the acoustics of the cabin. So basically we can turn off all the speakers except for the front right tweeter, set crossover points, digital time alignment relative to the drivers noggin, equalisation and gain structures. We can then turn that tweeter off and move to the front right woofer in the door and do the same, moving through all the speakers in the car. After that we perform even more fine tuning with the entire system running.
On top of all that tuning power the V Eight also comes complete with 8 built in high output amplifier channels so we don't need to run additional amps.
Sound treatment was courtesy of a bunch of Morel Accudamp (of course) and Install Pro acoustic rings and diffuser pads.

We had this big rig in the other day for a bit of auto electrical work. We fitted up a GME XRS375 UHF along with some side mounted work lights, amber beacons on some custom brackets and a reverse squawker to make sure this F150 is site compliant for work projects. We also added auxillary connections so that when a canopy is fitted at a later date the wiring is already there ready to plug straight in.
All lighting controls are setup to run from a single controller pad with a few more outputs available for future upgrades.
